The Student Government Association elections are coming to a close, and students have only until the end of the day Wednesday to cast their votes.
Each of the candidates are running on their own differing issues, which they hope will resonate with students. While some voters chose to support parties based on issues, others wanted to support their friends, and some believed in leadership more than anything.
Students have three candidates to choose from where SGA president is concerned: Allison Lawrence of Students Unite, who serves as the current administration’s chief of staff; Moiz Syed of Coogs Unite, a current CLASS senator; and political science junior Claude Johnson of EVERY COOG.
